Emery (UCL-MSSL) and ***BA*** (***BA INSTITUTION***) report on behalf of the Swift/UVOT team: The Swift/UVOT began settled observations of the field of GRB 190218 543 s after the BAT trigger (***Author*** et al., GCN Circ. ????). A source consistent with the XRT position *** POSITION REFERENCE is GCN_Notice *** is detected in the initial UVOT exposures. The preliminary UVOT position is: RA (J2000) = 18:58:34.90 = 284.64543 (deg.) Dec (J2000) = -08:14:14.6 = -8.23740 (deg.) with an estimated uncertainty of 0.43 arc sec. (radius, 90% confidence). Preliminary detections using the UVOT photometric system (Breeveld et al. 2011, AIP Conf.
